Embark on a cultural journey through Provence, guided by a local expert. Your adventure begins in Avignon, from where you'll be whisked away to St Paul de Mausole, a mental hospital nestled amidst olive groves. This tranquil setting served as both home and inspiration to Van Gogh for a year, and its landscapes feature prominently in his work. Be sure to capture these timeless scenes with your camera!
Next, the tour takes you to the city of Arles. Here, you'll meander through the charming streets, tracing the footsteps of Van Gogh. The guide will point out numerous locations that inspired some of his most iconic paintings, including La Maison Jaune, Le Café la Nuit, and Le Jardin de l’Hôtel Dieu. Interestingly, it was during his time in Provence that Van Gogh was at his most prolific.
If your visit falls on a weekend, you'll have the added pleasure of experiencing a traditional Provençal market in Arles on Saturdays.
